Chick discovers the war!
Yup. New Chick tract. This one's okay--not horrid, not great. Okay.

1. It is horrid.
:hi: jmow

It's horrid because of how it portrays Christians who are not fundamentalists.

9. That's all part of Chick theology
I'm still trying to figure out some of the shit Jack is saying.

Apparently, if you trust in Jesus you're going to heaven, but if you follow Jesus through a religion, you're going to hell.

Last I checked, trusting Jesus was a religion.

I know that when he starts screaming about "religion" he's really on one of his Catholic-bashing trips, but still...

3. More ani-intellectual, anti-ecumenical bullshit.
Oh, and Mary is a god? Only in the Chickiverse. :eyes:

4. A new Chick! And just as imbecilic as ever, if not more so!
Thanks for the link.

(Although, upon a bit of reflection, it's a bit depressing...somebody must be PAYING to read his stuff, or he wouldn't still be doing it.)

5. Disgusting
If Jesus would let anyone into heaven, it's someone who died for his country, whether the war is just or not.

Jack Chick is a cancer.

6. If he's not a cancer, he's at least an unpleasant and embarrasing boil
on someone's nether regions.

Hey, you think he might be the famous boil on Rush's butt that got him out of the draft?

7. This guy makes money hand over fist
Have you ever seen a real, live, paper Chick tract?

Chick tracts are the result of the cheapest printing process known to man. He uses the cheapest paper. The cheapest inks. Presses that are so old, they've got "Made in Occupied Germany" on the data plate. One setup on the folder and the collator for all 37,000 titles he puts out. He uses a 10,000-impression press run, which is optimal for offset printing. If you count the payment to the artist--Jack is in this business because he's not good enough of an illustrator to work for a comic book company, so he's had a real artist drawing for him for many years--he's probably got eight cents per copy in each one of his books.

For this, you pay him a quarter. I wish I had the guts to put an over-200-percent initial markup on anything I sold.

13. Helluva business model he's got going there, yes?
"Never, EVER underestimated the stupidity of the majority of American people."

Remember that, and you'll be raking in the bux. As would I, except I like being able to look myself in the mirror. You probably do, too.

8. Notice how he condemns the LIBERAL CHRISTIAN to hell!
WTF? I thought God loved everybody. This Chick guy is a
hater. :( I pray that he sees the full LOVE of God to all people
and that includes MUSLIMS and LIBERALS!

12. More right wing crap. Why didn't Benny say Muslims?
He's being shot at by drooling rabid muslims(if I'm seeing the cartoon right, I have my old glasses on) and he says Tex Wilson??? Another right wing crap out.

14. I think he wanted to kill Tex Wilson even before the war
Maybe Tex is fucking his wife? Maybe Tex keeps stealing Benny's parking space? Who knows?

Anyway, I finked on ol' Jack to the US Army Chaplain Center. Sent 'em an e-mail describing this atrocity. (And after reconsidering it...yeah, you guys are right, this one's really fucking bad.) Let's pit Jack and his "my way or the highway to hell" shit against five thousand chaplains.

15. What if you died and found out God really DID have a glowing head...
with no face?

I think that would scare the ghostly shit out of me.
